Date with Benjamin

 Benjer and Brownie

 

 This puppy is pretty cute too.  He's pulling up onto his knees these days.

Benjamin has been through a lot of big changes over the last year.  He has a new baby brother, he started all day kindergarten, I work full time and when he's on track break he is in child care at our center.  He is doing great in kindergarten and is always good in class.  However, he has struggled at home and at child care with all the changes.  We knew he needed some more one on one attention so we decided to take him on a special date over the weekend.  We had the best time!  We surprised Benjamin by going to Build a Bear.  We had never been there before.  Benjamin picked out a super cute puppy that he named Brownie.  He also got Brownie a cute little hoodie sweatshirt and some Sketcher shoes.  He LOVES his puppy. He takes it everywhere and takes it to bed with him.  It's really cute.  We also took him to dinner.  It was so fun spending time with just him.  He is so cute and sweet.  We're going to be sure and go on more dates with him.  This Saturday it's Britton's turn for a special date and he is looking really forward to it.  Benjamin's excited too because our baby sitter has an ipad that she lets him play.  Funny boys.
